Really need on this im confused. ill give brainliest

explain how to use prime factorization to reduce 112/128. create and insert a diagram that illustrates your explanation.

Rewrite the numerator and denominator with prime factors.

112 = 2^4 x 7 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7

128 =  2^7 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

Now 112 / 128 becomes 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 / 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

Cancel out common factors. There are four 2's in the numerator, so remove four 2's from both the numerator and denominator to get:

7 / 2 x 2 x 2

Simplify the denominator: 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

Now you have the reduced fraction of 7/8

1 is c

2 is a

3 is a
